FAQ

Why I can't hear any sound of the addon?

Make sure your sound effect is open and your sound volume isn't very low.

Check if you have disabled your current area in the "enable area" options, check if you have disabled the spells you just want to hear.

I want to hear the addon voice only, with no other game sound, can I?

Yes, you can! Just turn down the volume of game sound -> sound effect, music and ambience, But NOT the master volume. Now the new beta version of GSA use the master sound channel.

How to change the addon volume with the game sound volume unchanged?

Addon volume is based on the game volume. Someone told me that it's too low and I make it loud enough, and you can turn it down by turn down the game master sound. However, someone want it lower but not lower the game sound. There is an alternate way to solve the problem, you can turn down the mp3 file by yourself. Using a software called "MP3Gain", It can change the volume of mp3 file.

How to add my own voice file and alert?

Add your own file eg. myspell.mp3 (must be .mp3 or .ogg here) in the file folder /Interface/AddOnss/GladiatorlosSA/Voice_Custom.(by default, but you can also use any other one under your wow root)

Type /gsa to show the config, then select "Custom" ,add and config your sound alerts here.

How to make my own voice set?

If you want a voice set other than English, try to make your voice files with the same names as the files in the folder "Voice_enUS", then copy and overwrite the original files. Select "English (female)" in game, then your own voice set works.

If your voice set is very good, and you want to share it with others, just email me and add your voice files as attachment.

I guess i have to download some text to speach program to make the wav to fit the girl voice in there :) i cant seem to find one similar enough to the one ingame , but i got one close. i will follow your guide to make it work!

I wanted to add the "Roar of Sacrifice" spell from the hunter spells as a custom alert.

I managed to enter the spell ID but then I need to enter a sound file, I wonder if I can find online a female voice generator like the one you are using ? In order to get her to say "Roar of Sacrifice".

It does not work with announcing Owlkin Frenzy. Its not eben an option on the buffs section. When i try and make a custom announce for it using the effect ID it still doesnt work.. Any way to get this spell announcing?

I like the addon, but by default there are way too many announces for me. So I disabled some of them, but when I tested it in 2s it still announced pretty much everything (not sure if it was everything tho but I remember it anouncing stuff that I disabled) I also restarted WoW before using it in the modified way. Can anyone help me with this?
